Baylor receiver Robbie Rhodes, an incoming freshman from Fort Worth Southwest, continued his strong fall camp by grabbing four passes for 112 yards and a touchdown in today’s scrimmage in Waco. Rhodes’ TD came on a 78-yard strike from backup quarterback Seth Russell, who completed 10-of-14 passes for 162 yards.

Bryce Petty, the Bears’ starting quarterback, connected on 19-of-27 passes for 207 yards and two scores. But Rhodes’ emergence remains one of the Bears’ primary stories of fall camp.

“He is a dynamic guy. He has talent stored away,” said Baylor coach Art Briles, adding that Rhodes will contribute “without question” in the team’s Aug. 31 opener against Wofford. “He’s really good.”
